It is not a spoiler to tell you that the nickname *on set* during the show for Amos was “Murder Snuggles.”

[@BigSeth1090]

One little thing I’d point out: the woman painted onto the Roci is a homage to “pin-up girls,” who were often painted onto the noses of bombers and other warplanes especially during WWII. By modern cultural standards it certainly isn’t a good look, but at the time it was viewed as both a good luck charm and a reminder of the people and way of life they fought for. It was actually hotly debated within the early feminist movements; some argued essentially that the whole pin-up thing was objectifying, others saw pin-up girls as a rejection of Victorian-era bodily shame and embrace of beauty and sexuality. Interesting piece of history to call back to!

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

Pin-up girls as tattoos are pretty popular right now. I know of one tattoo artist that even specializes in them.

Amos is a wonderfully complex character. You're going to love his arc throughout the series. Also, one of the most common elements in science fiction is the "ship as a character" trope -- Enterprise, Millenium Falcon, etc. And now Rocinante.

*having watched all the seasons and read all the books* I don't know what you mean with an obsession ^^*

[@kirkdarling4120]

Speaking of Amos, you said, "He's terrifying. But kind of sexy. But terrifying." LOL. Wes Chatham is an excellent actor who nails this role...and wasn't paid enough. I've also seen him nail a comedic role. You remember the song "All By Myself." LOL "Is that a button? Push it" LOL You're glad Miller left the hat behind. LOL You're wondering about peeing in a space suit. LOL You're right that nothing on this show is throwaway. That's why some of the things you say evokes LOLz. Yes, Kenzo is the spy Avasarala wrested from the guy in the aquarium. Because Avasarala works for Errinwright, Errinwright is aware of him too. Kenzo is the spy Errinwright said had missed his last report (probably what Kenzo was trying to send from the Rocinante). I hope you tied together all the Don Quixote references in this episode, leading to the fact that Holden's role model was a would-be knight errant who took on fights he couldn't win.

[@The_Other_Dan]

This is what I love to see. When the show really starts to sink its teeth into and hook a newly initiated Screaming Firehawk. Welcome to the crew =) BTW you're right. Kenzo is spying on Holden for Avasarala. She got access to him by blackmailing Kenzo's boss in the aquarium that time by threatening his sons parole hearing.

[@IdleCommentator]

To elaborate a bit on that moment. They namedrop earlier that the guy Avasarala forces to "borrow" her his spy is named Davilla. Kenzo here tells Holden and gang that he is a "consultant" for Davila Aerospatiale.

[@LeeCarlson]

In "The Expanse" physics is actually one of the characters, though the television series tends to telescope time-frames. In the case of Miller recording a "letter" to Julie's father (Jules-Pierre Mao), it will take several hours for a message beamed from Ceres to reach Earth. Any kind of communications that are not local are more like sending a text to someone, with pictures and sound.

[@tadcooper9733]

In the beginning you mentioned that you weren't thrilled that the art on the ship was a women in bed but remember when discussing the name Amos said "I knew a woman named Rocinante....she was good to me..." so I think that has something to do with it.

[@kirkdarling4120]

Yes. For Amos, prostitution is an honorable profession. For that matter, there's no indication in the story that anyone holds prostitutes in particular contempt.

[@justdaved8638]

Also, if you go back and look at WWII bombers, they just about all had pin-up art. As the Rocci is a salvaged Martian warship, I think this could be a nod back to that time.

I think you mentioned you are doing Legend of Vox Machina next....can't wait.

[@cliveklg7739]

I always found the Holden - Amos scene interesting. "Take it if you need it." Then after, brushing it off like it was nothing, with no grudge. Because Amos knows it isn't personal, it is just what Holden needed to do. BTW there is youtube vlog with Wes Chatham (actor for Amos) and Ty Franck (One of authors of the book), called "Ty and That Guy". They do episode discussions, interviews with cast and crew together.

[@kirkdarling4120]

One of the things that made the Expanse so great is that the writers understand how to create strong characters of both genders while also blending an ethnically diverse cast without falling into any of the trappings that some of the newer shows have fallen into and are being so heavily criticized for. Just like in real life, the writers have created complex characters that at times are strong and dominant and at other times are experiencing regret and self-doubt.

If anything, Shoreh Ashgadloo plays a somewhat slightly more toned down Chrisjen Avasarala on the show.

(i.e. curses a hell of a whole lot more. To be fair to show Chrisjen, at this point the show was still on Sy-Fy channel (Sci-Fi) back then, and they had only so much freedom to portray her accurately on a broadcast channel. Once the show as acquired by Amazon in later seasons, she gets to let loose a lot more with the cursing and you get a more book-faithful Chrisjen Avasarala.)

Chrisjen Avasarala will do anything to win, Earth comes first. The first episode when she had that belter on the hooks showed just how far she will go. Details are everything. Anderson Dawes is a roughneck gangster, but try not to be so critical of him, and understand that Earth and Mars have had their foot on the back of the Belters necks (who are exploited humans) for sometime now. Episode 1 at the outset helped us to appreciate that this whole situation with Earth, Mars and the Belt was a powder keg ready to explode. I really like this show BUT it does mirror the political, social and some of the partiality that portrayed in our human society today.

Amos is a scary guy, not because he's mentally maladjusted, but because he's learned that violence is the best way to resolve an interpersonal conflict, and that immediate and intense violence will, more often than not, best protect you from those intent on performing extreme violence upon you. If you postulate a society filled with those sorts of people, Amos is the epitome of mental and emotional health, while you and I are dead because of our inability to recognize the threat or effectively respond to it, and others laugh at the mental shortcomings and emotional limitations that resulted in our grisly demises.

In my humble opinion, I do wonder if Avasarala isn't somewhat based on Servalan, from the old BBC series Blake's 7... and wow, what a character that was!

You'll get Amos's name right soon, I'm sure. :) And your intro with how Amos would do some nasty stuff in a cool calm way, I think this episode confirms your assessment. To set your mind at ease, this is our crew's ship, until it isn't... :p Miller is a bit obsessed with finding Julie and proving he's not just washed up. So in a way, maybe love and OMG, Did you just sing All By Myself? LOL. Francis Fisher was also in the western Unforgiven and there's a nice little story with the outdoor scene. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rnmcaImArpuHnqM Chrisjen knows where Jimmy is since she has Kenzo, the spy she got from the dude in the aquarium. Space travel is like Star Trek, in the Expanse... if you're rich. :) But the ships are still built like buildings, because thrust gravity still works the same for any ship. You're doing good, Gal!

9:35 Remember that space is vast. So due to the relative slow speed of light and electromagnetic waves, direct live communication is pretty much impossible between different worlds and locations in the solar system. Even the lag time between earth and the moon is about 1.2 seconds making a live conversation very awkward. And between earth and mars lag is already on average 20 minutes, making live communication impossible. Between earth and the belt or even the Jovian system, we're talking about an hour of lag time or even more... So this is why in the expanse you'll rarely see people use direct live communication, but see them use recorded messages all the time.

12:52 On humans fighting each other: Gravity gets its mitts into everything. In general, you can place odds know who will win fights based on the gravity they grew up as it impacts the body's development. People from higher gravity worlds are stronger with greater bone density and muscles than those from lower gravity. Living in lower gravity may even that out over time as you lose that density and such, we still have a head start advantage. Earthers > Martians > Lunars > Ceres > smaller asteroids > open space. Even skinnier Holden.

One of the awesome things about Amos is he will never threaten anyone, he just honestly explains what will happen.

You'll learn the names... And if not, just know that in the show people also pronounce some names different than other people. Reason is that the writers want to show the multicultural aspect, while also just not getting stuck with one pronunciation (maybe also to just piss off people that like to have only one "true" pronunciation 😅😅, like me with the Anubis ship name 😅)

I like the pentagram you are wearing. This show is super realistic. No artificial gravity, no force fields, no phasers, no teleporters, and no warp drive. The engines the ships use are still sci-fi, just not to the extent of warp drive or hyper space, but they can get you from Earth to Mars in weeks instead of months. That is still not possible with todays tech.

I'm confused. In the beginning, you talk about Alex like you're talking about Amos.
